Sulfatase-activated fluorophores for rapid discrimination of mycobacterial species and strains
22 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
Most current diagnostic tests for tuberculosis do not reveal the species or strain of pathogen causing pulmonary infection, which can lead to inappropriate treatment regimens and the spread of disease. Here, we report an assay for mycobacterial strain assignment based on genetically conserved mycobacterial sulfatases. We developed a sulfatase-activated probe,...
